Nixos arm64 - how?

Can I run Cursor on my Nixos Linux arm64 machine? (it’s a Parallels VM running on my Mac M3)

So, did you try it?

No - because I can’t figure out how to do it! Partially due to I am new to Nixos, but mostly because I can’t find an arm64 linux version of Cursor. Seen one of those anywhere?

Bump on this, ARM64 Linux Cursor would be super super appreciated (if not incredible amount of work)

I’m not sure about ARM, but here’s a package for installation of Cursor on NixOS : ) cursor.nix · GitHub

This is so cool! Thank you :slight_smile:

I tried to package cursor for nixos earlier, but I couldn’t get rid of the issues with the keymap electron package (on both wayland/x11), does the appimage run without bugs in the logs for you?

I’ve helped package cursor for Nix and NixOS.
There is now support for the prebuilt cursor images for both x86_64 and arm64 architectures on linux, and soon support for darwin after this PR: code-cursor: add Darwin support by sarahec · Pull Request #374944 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub

You’re welcome :slight_smile:

Heads-up: We’re not getting updates anymore for cursor – our latest is 0.45.14.

We could switch to use the update API, but it’s a non-trivial job. I’ve been emailing support for the past two weeks to determine if we can use our current method of updating with a new API key or if the update API will continue to be supported in its current form. No answers so far.
